]]> Local civil and preventive services (MOPS) were still functioning until recently. However, the funding for this activity has been slowly depleted. The Slovak government is planning to restore the service. “Eligible applicants are municipalities with the presence of a marginalized Roma community, which are listed in the Atlas of Roma Communities 2019, and which have at least 80 inhabitants of this community,” explained Ján Hero, the government representative for Roma communities.

]]> The temporarily appointed Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger (Democrats) and Peter Pellegrini (Hlas-SD). Answered questions from the Audience. Some questions also touched on the lawsuit that Slovakia is currently facing for the segregation of Roma children. While Heger claimed that it is not a problem that could be solved overnight with money, ex-prime minister Peter Pellegrini has a completely different opinion. Eduard Heger says that the segregation of Roma children must be solved by their integration, but he did not present concrete steps to achieve this. Peter Pellegrini, on the other hand, is against interfering with the composition of classes. i.e. introducing quotas.

In fact, the issue is not that complex: Segregation occurs when schools are located in Roma settlements, and moving the children to other schools would solve the issue. The US knows about it.
